Gnutella breaks the 400,000 mark

[John W. Lindh]

For those who don't visit www.limewire.com every day, the LimeWire crawler just counted 406,042 users in 50 minutes (of these 400k, at least 190k nodes were running LimeWire and more than 140k people were using BearShare).

Okay, it really doesn't matter that much but somehow it feels good to see this network that took quite a beating in the past reclaiming some of its popularity.

it's because Kazaa users are moving from Fast Track to Gnutella and other better networks out there.

Great to see.

Usually I have the 400,000 mark saved for when my odometer clicks around... But what the hey.
